Not so intellectual mistake

Working in the beauty service industry, the first incident to come to mind has to do with work. I currently work at a waxing salon as a receptionist, answering phone calls from clients making appointments, or in some cases inquiring about the services we offer. One day, we had a caller ask about some pricing for a bikini wax. We had separate pricing for men and women, and I gave this very feminine caller the womens prices. Pleased with our reasonable prices, Jamie made and appointment for 2:00 that day. Some women have unisex names, Taylor, Francis, you catch my drift?
Well when 2:00 came and Jamie walked in for their appointment, she was definitely a he. Now how in the world was I going to tell this Jamie that I gave him the women price without offending him? Very intellectual .
